Don’t really like being negative on something I haven’t yet used, but am I the only one who’s a bit underwhelmed with the Outdoor Cam and what I perceive as a lack of new features, and the limitations of the design? The Outdoor Cam doesn’t seem to bring many new features, and has its own limitation…

[image] earthsci: i think that lots of people disappointed about the wco which is well justified. we were told repeatedly that wco is both battery and power powered but ends up practically " only " battery powered I’m sure they’re working on it, but if this is all they could come up with bei…

To be totally frank there is literally nothing the outdoor camera brings of value to the table in comparison to the existing V2. In fact for a “successor” product it actually is worse in many ways. Like many others I have used V2’s and Pan’s outside with little or no protection. At least with them …

this is the first camera that wyze designed for v2 and pan they write the firmware pir cost $5, r&d cost $5, battery cost $10 so it $20 on top of v2

I agree with you 100%. Wyze set the bar really high with the V1 and V2 and since it’s been out for so long, users have found out ways to use them outdoors too (leaving it under a roof so it doesn’t get wet, purchasing a 3rd party weatherproofing kit/mount etc).

Unless i’m not reading the description correctly, the distance is limited by the cam and its receiver distance (which is limited by the cable to the wifi box). That makes it useless for me. I have about a dozen wyze devices all over my house (big distances and stone walls) and an extender takes car…

[image] absilversmith: I have about a dozen wyze devices all over my house (big distances and stone walls) and an extender takes care of my farther away devices just fine. So how do I use the outdoor cam when my router is in a house addition (not the main house), with a stone wall and 75 ’ away…

The wifi extender has a port (but you made me get up out of my chair to look).

[image] absilversmith: (which is limited by the cable to the wifi box). You have options. You can use up to 150’ of Ethernet cable without problems. You can also use a Wifi extender with a built in Ethernet port or an AC Power extender.

If you turn off night vision you will get 20fps, but you will need night vision on even with an external ir illuminator, you will just shut off the internal ir lights but still have it in night mode to pick up the ir illumination

thank you. so their base station plugs into the extender rather than the main router. if i have that correct no need to waste key stokes letting me know i got it right and how tech bad i am. a.
